TCN Fundraiser – It's Not Just About the $$
While monetary
contributions are greatly appreciated, I realize not everyone can make a
donation. There is another way you can support the TCN and it won't cost you a
cent. If you or your organization are on Twitter, please follow me at @TransportComm. I'll give you updates on stories before they appear in the
TCN and you might even find a surprise or two. If you'd like to send in a
check, or pay by credit card via PayPal, please scroll down for details. Thank
you!
